General Description
I created the first ‘10 must have apps in the classroom’ course out of a desire to provide teachers with some foundation apps to build confidence using apps and technology in their classroom.
This course is the ‘another’ 10 must have apps in the classroom.
The latest research tells us that teachers are more likely to use technology when they feel confident in what they are doing. Teachers want to know what to do with apps and how they can integrate them into their daily lessons. Teachers want to know how to ‘teach’ using the apps; and how their students can use the apps to demonstrate their learning. The next ten apps course will give you 10 apps to add to your technology ‘armor’. You don’t have to do the previous 10 apps course to do this one.

Some great apps to use. I found some were more useful towards primary school and artistic/creative classes, whereas I was more looking for high school apps. I found some difficult, but that was more due to my complete inexperience in using apps before so I struggled. Some feedback was a little slow in coming, otherwise it was a good course to come up with ideas for class. It does rely on your school having the available resources in sufficient supply for students to use.

The course was excellent. I was a bit scared to join it as I was not sure whether I will be able to do it or not. But I found it to be very good and it had easy to follow instructions. All the material was easily accessible. The support was very good. Online courses are the future of the Teacher Training. I have also gained confidence for doing future Online Technology course. I have learnt a number of iPad apps which I will use for the benefit of my students. The course can be accessed again at my convenience to revise the steps.Thank you Katrina and Gabrielle

A great course in and of itself and a wonderful follow up to IPads in the primary classroom. The content, tutorials, activities, and feedback left me confident that I can integrate these apps into my classroom and students work and help them achieve their outcomes in a highly engaging and relevant manner. Highlights for me were the SlingNote and Socrative modules. After reviewing the content and feedback and discussions with Karina and others in the course I will be using most of the apps covered in the course. Of most use were the collaborative apps: Padlet and AllDraw. I hope that I have already conveyed a sense of appreciation throughout the various posts in this course but once again thank you. The apps in my grab bag will prove highly beneficial to my students and self and am looking forward to gaining more experience with them in the upcoming term and next year. I now have a few more rabbits to pull out of my proverbial hat and new tricks up my sleeve.
